The modern market is arranged in such a way that the upper price bar of any product is limited only by the ambitions of its manufacturer. Scooters are no exception. Of course, if we compare the equipment produced by the eminent European concern and the cheapest Chinese moped, the first one will be of better quality and more reliable, but the price difference can reach several orders of magnitude. Whether it makes sense to overpay for a brand is everyone's business. Our rating aims to find the most budget scooter, it will take the first place. Its quality will not necessarily be the highest. It's the price that matters.
When buying such equipment, you should be prepared for possible technical problems. Also, experts advise before the first trip to independently check the broach of all bolts and connections. Perhaps it makes sense to contact the service, where they will diagnose. You will give an extra couple of thousand, but you will be sure that the moped will serve faithfully for more than one year. Even the most budget devices sometimes give odds to their eminent counterparts.Just a little-known Chinese brand does not have the opportunity to raise the price tag only for its name.
